Windows vista loses default printer

This has been affecting me and looks to have been caused by GoToMyPc setting itself as the default printer whenever I connected remotely. Of course then it would disappear when logged on locally…. As I read through the chain on this topic, I found a few ideas, but no actual solutions. I devised a fix that seems to be working—it has held up for five days and my boss it is her office PC has used Remote Desktop at least three times since I implemented my fix.

The printer my boss wanted as her default offered both a network connection and a USB connection, as did one of her other six printers. It may be the name and speed with which the name is sorted that is the key. It wins that spot immediately because it is the only printer name that begins with an underscore.
